Snowbird, a popular ski resort, has received the necessary approvals from the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest to replace and reposition the Wilbere lift. The proposed replacement will be a fixed-grip, top drive quad lift, spanning 2,500 feet in length and rising 750 feet vertically. The bottom terminal will be relocated near the Creekside Day Lodge, offering improved circulation of skiers. The top terminal will remain in its current location to ensure smooth traffic flow. This upgrade will enhance the skiing experience for visitors at Snowbird.

Snowbird, UT, has opened its aerial tram for summer operations, offering an incredible new feature: a rooftop observation deck. For the first time in the United States, visitors can ride on top of an aerial lift, enjoying a 10-minute journey with breathtaking 360° views. The tram, originally constructed in 1971, has become an iconic symbol of Snowbird, and it was recently upgraded with state-of-the-art cabins featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and a rooftop balcony. Although the full opening was delayed until November due to an incident, the tram is now fully operational. Passengers have the option to experience the thrill of the rooftop ride, providing an unparalleled adventure. Meanwhile, Snowbird bids farewell to its record-breaking winter season, concluding with 838 inches of snowfall. While we hope other resorts will follow suit, Snowbird remains the go-to destination for this unique experience. Plan your visit and prepare for an unforgettable journey on the Snowbird Aerial Tram.

Snowbird has cut the ribbon and welcomed the first guest onto the new tram cabins for the winter season. Check out all the details here as well as photos from the opening day.
